    Charlene....I have primed and painted and worked great for me.

  • Hi, Charlene!

    Priming and painting is definitely an inexpensive option... Just make sure to clean the paneling using dishsoap and water or TSP (tri-sodium phosphate) before priming! I hope this helps!

    We bought a home that was all cheap panel. Some of it was warped. We filled the cracks with calking then primed the wood with aroma-free Kilz primer paint. Then we painted each room as we wanted. The warped wood we did a 3 hue sponge paint (we actually used waded plastic shopping bags to sponge paint it). Then we added a wallpaper border at the top. It was beautiful and you could not tell it had once been paneling! If we could do it, anyone can. It is a lot of work, but it is not hard to do.

    I thought one had to fill in the panel with calk to do away with the lines. That way it looked like a regular wall. Thanks for any help.
